Don't touch the reed until you know what you are doing. You're likely to damage it if you aren't careful enough. You REALLY need to get hold of a local piper who can take you through to stage 1.
Even an Irish piper will be better than no one at all, but ideally lessons in every aspect of playing and maintenance from a good Northumbrian piper will save you possibly years of frustration.
